Justin Gaethje has something to prove in his return to the Octagon.

‘The Highlight’ heads to London for a co-main event showdown with rising lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev at UFC 286 on March 18. It’s been nearly a year since Gaethje suffered a first-round submission loss to then-lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. With it being his second failed attempt to capture UFC gold, Gaethje is eager to quiet his detractors and reward his supporters with a return to the win column.

Documenting his march to London in a video series on YouTube, Justin Gaethje briefly revealed that going into a fight after a loss is understandably difficult, but he’s determined to hush the haters that believe he’ll be nothing more than a gatekeeper for the division.

“Coming off a loss is always a little different to coming off a win, especially after a loss in a championship fight,” Gaethje said. “Lot to prove. There’s a lot of haters to shut up and a lot of believers to prove right. So it’s a fun ride, man, it’s been a fun ride since day one.”

With losses against both Charles Oliveira and Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC title fights, it’s clear that Justin Gaethje’s Achilles heel is his wrestling. Fortunately, ‘The Highlight’ won’t have to worry much about that as his next opponent, Rafael Fiziev, has established himself as one of the division’s top strikers. Going 6-1 inside the Octagon, Fiziev has earned knockouts in 50% of those victories guaranteeing that fans will see fireworks when the two top lightweights square off in ‘The Big Smoke’ on March 18.

Debuting for the promotion in 2017, Justin Gaethje has gone 6-4 inside the Octagon. Prior to that, he earned 10 straight victories including an impressive run as the World Series of Fighting lightweight champion. He defended the title five times before signing with the UFC. In 2020, ‘The Highlight’ captured the UFC interim lightweight title, defeating Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. He came up short in a title unification bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov five months later.

Jordan Leavitt still receiving hate messages following Paddy Pimblett loss: ‘It was an arena full of degenerates’

Over seven months removed from his UFC London submission loss to polarizing lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett, Syndicate MMA challenger, Jordan Leavitt has revealed he is still receiving hateful and abusive messages from fans of the Liverpool native, labelling the entire attendance at the O2 Arena in July as “degenerates”.

Leavitt, who slumped to 10-2 as a professional with his eventual third round rear-naked choke submission loss to former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Pimblett, is slated to return at UFC Vegas 70 next weekend against Victor Martinez.

Prior to his submission loss to the outspoken Liverpool native, Leavitt had landed consecutive wins over both Matt Sayles, and Trey Ogden, having previously landed a slam KO win over Matt Wiman in his UFC debut.

Jordan Leavitt reveals he is still receiving hate messages following his loss to Paddy Pimblett

Set to make his return against Martinez before the close of this month, Leavitt reflected on the media and fan response from his loss to Pimblett last summer, explaining how he still receives trolling and hateful messages from the latter.

“London sucks,” Jordan Leavitt told LowKick MMA reporter, Alex Behunin. “I’m never leaving the country (United States) again, America is the greatest country in the damn world. Throughout all of history – I don’t need to visit anywhere else to know that for truth. But, I’m kind of, you know – I’m really annoyed that I lost, I’m still embarrassed. I still have Paddy (Pimblett) fans that message crap to me. And I know if I block them – if I show them that they won, so I can’t block them, they’re never going to go away, and I hate you, I hate you so much.”

“… I’m annoyed by the loss, I learned a lot,” Jordan Leavitt explained. “But I’m never going to fight in front of a crowd as hostile as that. And in conclusion, people who get drunk like that before 9pm are degenerates. It was an entire arena of degenerates.”

“I learned a lot of that part of the fight game – about the social media game, the journalism game, the interview game,” Jordan Leavitt explained. “I’m jaded – I’m a little jaded. And I gotta highlight this kids, so you care about me again. And only my boy Alex cares.”

In his sole other professional loss, Leavitt suffered a defeat against Peruvian grappler, Claudio Puelles – and has managed to land an impressive six separate career submission victories.
